Look for their latest album to be released this year, through Rusty Knuckles! And stay tuned for tour dates!

"The Ditchrunners
are beginning to make a ripple, no a cannonball, in the Great Lakes
music scene. If you are wondering what kind of music to expect from
these boys, think the opposite of radio stars such as Kenney Chesney and
Toby Kieth. I would think more along the lines of Central Wisconsin
rebel-rousing, whiskey-fueled, high-octane country." -Adam Greuel,
HOOPLA Magazine

"From Stevens Point, these five guys must have had a love
hate relationship with the country music they grew up with. They kept
the country twang, and sometimes a bit of the hoe-down beat, but added a
hard edge in the guitar work and palpable rebel-rousing attitude. Its
more than Toby Keith country, but less than gritty southern metal,
settling in a rebellious bluegrassy middle ground. Singing about
whiskey, trucks, guns and girls, they sure know how to occasionally
throw in some top notch vocal harmonies, without losing that outlaw
edge." -City Pages

"A first listen to these northern Wisconsin boys and its
clear that they were influenced by the likes of Johnny Cash, George
Jones, Waylon Jennings, and many of the other bad ass country playing
pioneers of the genre." -Tom Jordan

"In from Stevens Point, this rip-roaring country band will
turn the Crystal Corner into the kind of roadhouse where one might find
George Jones or the ghost of Johnny Cash!" -Isthmus

"The group’s setup of all-acoustic instruments presents a
foot-stomping, knee-slapping, swing dancing jive set, and that’s exactly
what gives them their game-changing temperament. Park Falls native Doug
“Buckshot” Bredlau leads the band with vocal cords that sound like a
rusted steam engine fighting a pack of disgruntled polar bears. Behind
him stands the acoustic guitar backbone of Alex Dalnodar, and the
upright bass slapping of Jayson Minor. Holding it down on the drums is
Brian Van Wychen, and shredding mandolin you’ll find Bob Weigandt, who
was recently nominated for a Wisconsin Area Music Industry award." Seth

"I had a great time watching the Ditchrunners play. They were like Zach Brown on Crack!" -Brad Emanuel
